Territorial balance according to Jordi Pujol
One of the traditional objectives of Catalan nationalism is the way it views the entire nation, the entire social and geographical body of Catalonia as a living entity.
The following conditions are required in order to achieve this:
- A communications policy
- A wealth-creation policy for the entire territory
- Industrial development and the development of tourism
- Agricultural development
- A policy to improve the standard of living and welfare of the entire country
- The possibility of personal advancement throughout the entire country
Catalonia must seek a balance between these two components:
- On the one hand, it is fortunate to have a large capital city with its areas of influence. Without Barcelona, Catalonia would lose half its strength.
- On the other, Barcelona is fortunate to be the capital of a country, of an entire nation, with a language, a culture and a territory.
The convergence of these two realities is what gives Catalonia its life and strength.
